48 hairpins
before lunch.
Guided motorcycle tours and rentals from Bormio, at the foot of the Stelvio. Your bags are already at the hotel.
Tornante means hairpin.
We run the ones above Bormio, and about four hundred others between here and Nice. Eight bikes at most, a lead and a sweep on comms, and a van that reaches the hotel before you do.

Will you reach the ground?
Move the ruler. Your figure sits on the real bike, in your boots, with your load, and shows you what your feet will do at the lights.
The part nobody photographs.
A lead and a sweep
Both on comms, both first-aid trained. Nobody rides alone, and nobody rides last without knowing it.
A van behind you
Your bags, a spare bike, tools and cold drinks. Rarely more than twenty minutes back.
A plan for the bad day
If you go to hospital, one of us goes with you.
Bikes we service ourselves
Every bike, every 3,000 km, in our own workshop in Bormio.
Riding the 48 downhill first thing, with nobody on it, is the best morning I have had on a bike. I booked again from the car park in Bormio.

We sat at the top of the Giau for an hour and nobody told us to get moving. Called the support line once, for a restaurant tip. It was the right tip.

Fast enough for me, and I am not patient. The guide split the group on the Giau without anyone feeling slow. Only complaint is that it ended.

Second season on a bike. They ran a slow-speed session in the car park and I rode every bend. I did not stop smiling until Glurns.
